Oh man that would be really awsome. Movie lenght :D

Very good. I'm on board...

same here i always loved the fmvs over the picture thingy

FMVs are the last major piece of the puzzle, I think.

Regardless of gameplay, characters, and extras and so on, it's just... y'know, do I want to buy Tekken and get a cinematic experience for finishing the game, or do I want to buy Mortal Kombat, and get one hundred design sketches, and photos of programmers?

Yeah...

2 much money, 2 much time.
I dont think they will go for it, BUT I REALLLY REALLLY REALLY hope they do .

I really hope we get FMV endings, I mean, its ABOUT TIME!

The 2 pics and text is really boring now. If they cant afford to make the FMV endings (and Im actually starting to think they can), then they have to make something different, something better!

Like the guy said at first, when u collect all the endings you unlock a big film including evrebody in it, then they would not have to make individual FMV's for each character.

I would so love for them too do FMV endings. Its 2006, games have had FMV sequences for over a decade now, its time to enter the 21st century mortal kombat!

we need a fmv ending and not a crap 2 picture and text ending

Instead of having a five minutes FMV intro I'd rather have a 2'30'' intro and a 2'30'' true ending, not a "what if".

I like a lot the previously posted idea of unlocking this ending video after finishing the game with all characters.

You all forget or don't know, but Midway has no department for FMV's and they are all done externally. So Midway can be lucky if someone manages to do intros for them.

...

Pic ends rule -sneaks away-

Chrome, the "slideshow" endings do have a certain nostalgia about them...

From about 15 years ago.

"it is time"

At least for animated picture slideshows. At least.

I knew and didn't forget.
I don't have any idea how that makes any kind of point.

I'm sure Namco didn't have an animation department dedicated to FMVs when they were doing Pacman, and yet, there they are, miraculously doing them in Tekken. :crazy:

Making a puzzle out of the endings is an interesting concept, but I think I'd rather something that featured each character. I think it's a big ask to have endings suitably insert each character into a larger X length piece.

Can't really do anything but agree with this thread, Next MK game absolutely needs FMV endings, It should be moreless compulsory by this stage considering how many games have them.

Jesus, Namco is at least ten times larger than Midway.

Pacman had no need for FMV§s and Namco has an own FMV department, Midway has nothing internal considering FMV animation. Having outsiders do it is well above 50.000 USD and thats a great sum for a small develop-ment team such as Midway. Even if they would want to do them, they dont have the money.

Whether or not they have FMV studios is irrelevant, imo. FMV endings are needed. It's time they stopped living in the past. Killer Instinct 2/Gold had picture and text endings for crying out loud. That's the early N64 days coming at you right there. They had FMVs in MK 4/Gold and then just stopped. Pick up the pace and make some quality stuff.

Well if for some reason they can't have FMV endings then at the very least have real-time endings. As was stated pictures and text don't cut it anymore. If they can't atleast do realtime endings....then ouch. I mean I will accept them not doing either if they are really focused on gameplay though.

Obviously. The point is moot, that's all I'm saying.
Midway could develop in house options through various means, to start producing regular video pieces, beyond what we've seen in Deadly Alliance, Deception or even Shaolin Monks.

It's a discredit to them to say they can't ever change.

From what $$$$$?

I hear they sell a few video games, from time to time.

They can't be that bloody poor if they just bought SCI Entertainment, which just recently bought Eidos itself.

If there isn't FMV endings, there should at least be endings that use the in-game graphics, like MK4 arcade. Actually, I would prefer this, because it makes it more arcade-like, which is what I want MK7 to be.

Exactly as I said TakerMK. Real-time endings (in-game graphics) should atleast be done in MK7. As for that being preferred....well either that or FMV is fine by me.
